    great article, great insight. maybe it's just me, but i think most of us are "hookers" to our respective careers/professions/jobs. i think the key is if you're gonna be a hooker to something, let it be something you love (or at least like a lot) :)... Read more

    Now I get it! Wine is life and life is wine. Another way to put it, “Everything I needed to know about life, I learned it from (or through) wine.” Good stuff. So what you’re saying is our taste in people, qualities, and characteristics changes/evolves over time, as does our taste in wine. That being said, I’ve been in a long relationship with Luna di Luna Merlot – she’s been good to me, but it may be time to move on (hopefully we can still remain friends). I’m going to give your recommendation a try – the Côtes du Rhone; sounds like the beginning of a beautiful relationship…... Read more

    In this article, you really did a great job in capturing both sides of the “Haitian Experience” in South Florida, so much so that at times, I wasn’t sure which side you were on (not that you have to take sides – lol). On one side you have us – Haitians and Haitian-Americans – and I think we do project (perhaps even unintentionally) a certain swagger, almost like we own the damn place. On the other side, you have them – non-Haitians. Your article helped me see certain things from that non-Haitian perspective and for that I am grateful. I guess in any environment where you have cultural diversity as we do in South Florida, there are bound to be “ethnic factions” and some friction, but personally, I love it here – you can experience America, Brazil, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Trinidad without ever leaving Miami!...

    It’s interesting to me how the holiday season conjures images of joy and good times, yet there’s an underlying sadness about it that we often don’t address. You did a great job of exposing it in this WC. Actually, you didn’t just expose it, you stripped it completely naked shivering out in the cold. Great job! I love the Tom and Jerry reference – that brought back some old and happy memories. I’ve always felt that everything I know in life, I learned from Tom and Jerry, primarily that life is a game of cat and mouse, sometimes you’re the cat, sometimes you’re the mouse, but even if you’re the mouse you can still beat the cat :)...
